Optional:

Extra chocolate-y  option: Vegan chocolate chips and chopped walnuts
Spicy option: ½ tsp cayenne and 1 tsp cinnamon
Mocha option: 1 tsp ground espresso beans

Preparation

  1.  Mix flour, cocoa powder, sugar, Vega® Essentials, sea salt and bicarbonate of soda in a microwave-safe mug.
  2. Add in the almond drink, stirring until combined.
  3. Add coconut oil and any optional toppings.
